"Among these selections are some great, hard-to-
find country blues and old-time classics ... brings
together some wonderful performances" - Dirty Linen

"The mix of black and white traditions reflects just
how much the two music cultures cross pollinated
...tales of love and lives lost, wasted, and
sometimes mourned" - Request

"If there's a flaw in My Rough and Rowdy Ways,
I must have overlooked it." - Victory Review

A collection of classic recordings of early American rural songs on the subject of badmen and hellraisers. Songs about outlaws, gamblers, drinkers and womanizers performed by many of the finest traditional musicians and singers ever recorded, many of whom have never been heard before on any re-issue. The whole breadth and scope of traditional American music is covered from old ballads to lyrical blues. Extensive biographical notes and photos are included in enclosed booklet.
